Member Review by EMark:

Whoa! I guess they don't go in for filtering in Mexican winemaking. Lots of stuff stuck to the side of the bottle just beneath the cork. So, the wine is a tad murky in the glass. Initial nose is yeasty, but then some strawberry comes in. Initially, quite tart on the palate, but, then some fruit does come in. At first I do not get the tannin, but then around the edge of the tongue I do get that puckery sensation. This is not a complex wine by any means. On the contrary, it is quite simple. However, I think it is eminently drinkable. I received this wine from my brother-in-law who picked it up on one of his fishing trips to Santo Tomas in B.C. The wine is good, but I'm sure the fish were better.
